Members Marticles Posted May 29, 2018 Members Report Posted May 29, 2018 Hi there, I am new to this forum and have also just bought a 18-3. It’s in remarkably good condition but like Thomas I am also after a take up spring that will fit this machine. Everything else seems to be working correctly but I am a novice when it comes to sewing machines. Anybody have any ideas where I might find one? Thanks for any help in advance, Martyn Quote

Members royalgh Posted June 5, 2018 Members Report Posted June 5, 2018 I made order and waiting for delivery.They say spring fit Singer 18, but in parts list it is not exactly the same, hope it will fit my 18-3. Quote
Members Darren Brosowski Posted June 10, 2018 Members Report Posted June 10, 2018 The 18 class is still built by Seiko as the TF so many parts are available from them. Generic hooks are common Quote

I ordered them but I think they are not exactly the same as the originals. It may entail a bit of bending till I can get it to fit properly. Thanks anyway. Quote

That is the first time I've seen that outer feed drive wheel of the Singer 18-3, which is a very interesting and different feed transport solution. I always wonder if they made those left-handed machines for actual left-handed operators or if there is some other reason for the left-handed design. I happen to have some (maybe a lot - not really sure yet) Singer 45K parts, mostly used, some new. Nearly all of them are still hiding in dozens of unorganized parts cabinets/drawers I acquired recently. I put some Singer 45K open frame shuttle hooks (91774 or DD1OP) and Singer 45K Feed Dog Carrier frame (91160) on Ebay. You may not need those, but I thought I'd mention it. Good luck with your restoration! You appear to be doing a very nice and thorough job. I'm looking forward to seeing some before/after pictures and perhaps some video snippets of the machines in action. Hello I am new here and just so this post I know this is old but did you find the singer 45k parts i have a 45k92 trying to decide what i am gonna replace Also the side bar for the knee lift is missing is that worth finding Quote
Members Alexan Posted February 5 Members Report Posted February 5 Hello! I am also restoring a Singer 18-3 I just bought. It is missing the hook shuttle unfortunately. Does anybody know where I can get one? I searched on ebay but I found no spare parts for this particular machine. Quote
